Enjoy the thought of being lulled to sleep by the gentle rippling motion of the gleaming waters of the River Soar’s canals at Redhill Marina. This splendid camping and glamping site is nestled an easy 25-minute drive from the local amenities and attractions in Nottingham, plus water-based antics at the National Water Sports Centre. The owners also offer guests a range of comfortable, well-equipped, self-contained pods that sit right on the sparkling waters of canals. Guests can set up camp on roomy grass pitches with optional electric hook-up and enjoy the serene sights and sounds at this peaceful spot. Each glamping unit comes with a decking area, kitted out with tables and chairs for savouring the tree-lined scenery, enjoying alfresco sizzles or settling in for a relaxed afternoon with the fishing rod. The living areas feature a sofa bed, a kitchenette (with a microwave), and a separate bathroom with a shower and a toilet. When the urge to wander strikes, simply hop on a train from the East Midlands Parkway Station, set an ideal five-minute drive away, and chug into the centre of Nottingham for urban adventures, shopping, and access to excellent eateries for all tastes. If green spaces and big skies are more your vibes, roam the rural surrounds on walks that begin directly from your pod. Pets most welcome.
